Abstract:
Elastic net type regression methods have become very popular for prediction of certain outcomes in epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS). The methods considered accept biased coefficient estimates in return for lower variance thus obtaining improved prediction accuracy. We provide guidelines on how to obtain parsimonious models with low mean squared error and include easy to follow walk-through examples for each step in R.

Statistical Significance
Probability in Statistics
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...
